Throughout the early May bank holiday weekend (May 6-8), streets across Northampton have been coming together to celebrate the coronation of King Charles III, who was crowned on Saturday at Westminster Abbey.
Whilst many residents came together to celebrate this historic event, some streets took this rare opportunity simply to get together with their neighbours and enjoy some barbecue food to music in the sunshine.
Myself and our Chron photographer, Kirsty Edmonds, have been visiting street parties throughout the weekend - thank you to everyone who fed us and posed for pictures!

Take a look at these photographs of street parties in Birchfield Road, Holly Road and Lichfield Drive in Northampton - we will be posting more photos in the coming days:
